Agriculture and Workshop
At Zambia Missions, we believe that practical stewardship and Kingdom ministry go hand in hand. Through both agriculture and technical skills development, we seek to build sustainability, strengthen the community, and support the ongoing work of the Gospel in the region.
Agriculture
One of the ways we serve vulnerable families in the community is through agriculture. Each year, we plant maize that supports our feeding programmes for orphans and widows, providing mealie meal to those in need and helping bring stability to households facing hardship.
Alongside this, we distribute replantable seed to families connected to the mission. In many rural areas, much of the available seed is designed for a single harvest and cannot be replanted. By providing sustainable seed, we aim to encourage long-term thinking, wise stewardship, and the ability for families to continue cultivating future harvests for generations to come.
Beyond the current farming activities, Zambia Missions has an additional 60 acres of land available for future development. We believe this land carries great potential and are praying for the right people to join the mission with knowledge, vision, and a heart for agricultural ministry.
Looking ahead, there is vision to expand into cattle and goat farming. Our hope is that these projects will help create sustainable income streams that can support the running costs of the base, while allowing additional resources to be reinvested into discipleship, outreach, and community programmes.
Workshop Ministry
Our workshop ministry is a newer development and is overseen by Kevin, a full-time missionary serving with Zambia Missions.
The workshop primarily exists to maintain and repair the vehicles and six motorcycles that support ministry activities across the region. These motorcycles play a vital role in keeping the Gospel moving forward. They are used by our champions who bring the Good News into local secondary schools, by mentors travelling to satellite Bible Training Centres, and by leaders serving communities spread across challenging terrain.
Because of the rough roads and demanding conditions, the motorcycles require regular servicing and repair. Having an on-site workshop significantly reduces both costs and downtime, allowing ministry activities to continue more effectively and consistently.
Alongside this practical support, the workshop is also becoming a place of training and mentorship. A local mechanic is currently being equipped and trained through the programme, creating opportunities for both skills development and long-term empowerment within the community.
In this way, even practical skills and mechanical work become part of the wider mission—supporting outreach, discipleship, and the ongoing spread of the Gospel throughout the region.
